What does dekagram/second measure?

Dekagram per second (dag/s) measures the mass flow rate of 10 grams passing a point each second, commonly used for small flow measurements in food processing and lab dosing.

Why convert to megagram/second?

Megagram per second (Mg/s) is suited for very large flow measurements such as those in power plants and mining, enabling scaling and standardizing calculations across different flow magnitudes.

How is 1 dag/s converted to Mg/s?

1 dekagram per second equals 0.00001 megagram per second based on the conversion factor that 1 Mg equals 1,000 kg and 1 dag equals 10 grams.
